What conversations are taking place on the Internet about your association or the industry you represent? What press releases are being published? Are you tracking conversations in blogs and forums? Are you generating buzz? Are you mining the web for marketing opportunities? Google Alerts can help answer some of these questions and more.
Creating a Google alert is simple.
- Visit the Google Alerts page.
- Enter your search term keywords.
- Select the type of alert (blogs, news, web, group or comprehensive)
- Set the frequency of email alerts (as it happens, once a day, or once a week)
- Click the 'Create Alert' button
- Confirm by clicking the link in the email confirmation you receive
You may need to experiment with the keywords and settings, but once you figure out a system that works for you, Google Alerts is a great way to stay informed. For more information, visit Google Alerts FAQs.
